Jan. 8, 2009 - Artic Paper recently announced that it has moved its corporate headquarters from Gothenburg, Sweden to Kostrzyn in Western Poland.

In addition, Artic Paper AB has created a new corporate identity, Arctic Paper S.A., and is preparing to have the new company listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

All operations of Arctic Paper AB—the mills in Munkedal, Kostrzyn and Mochenwangen, as well as the sales companies—have been transferred to the new company, which is registered in Poland.

Michal Jarczynski, who has served as manager of the Kostrzyn mill since 2003, is the company's CEO.

Central functions such as sales and marketing will remain in Gothenburg, Arctic Paper said.

The company said that it has successfully implemented a full long term refinancing of the newly established group and renegotiated its loans with the banks for total amount of about EUR 90 million in preparation for its 2009 share market listing.
